Hello,
A user of our forum, who registered himself as forumadmin, abused our forum to send a fake message to everyone.
The message was :
----------------------------
Dear(s), cynthia!
A virus alert was noticed on your computer.
We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: .....................
----------------------------------------------------
Sincerely, Forum Administration www.heathernova.us.
-------------------------------
Let
me assure you that this was a fake message and the user has been
blocked!
Also: we never send out virus allerts or whatever to anyone.
I
personally hate it when people throw with mud via our forum... perhaps
it's time to close the forum and use the internal forum instead that I
programmed 2 years ago in PHP before I decided to adopt PHPBB2 which
seems to be under attack a lot.
I'll either remove
phpbb2 (the forum and replace it with the internal forum) or I'll
program a security patch for the current forum. I can also disable
private messages or whatever.
Please, help me to improve the site/forum and what tools would you like in order to improve heathernova.us? It's a website dedicated to Heather Nova and her fans, specially the fans overseas (in the USA) .
Anyway, you can contact me via email address :
cynthia@heathernova.info
Make
sure that if you want to send an email directly to me that you use
'heathernova.us' in the sucject tittle because I too receive a lot of
spam lately. About 250 emails a day and 90% is spam.
Another announcement that I want to make:
I'll
introduce Perry Black to maintain the web content for heathernova.us
since I'm also involved with other projects.
TTFN (ta ta for now)
Cynthia Fridsma,
webmaster/programmer of heathernova.us
PS: I also happen to be the official webmaster of Heather Nova ;-)
Take care and help us to improve the site. Perhaps a new layout? |
